I think blacks are exotic in eastern europe and they are rather accepted then gypsies. Gypsies are a quiete distinct minority and not accepted. But in serbia at least many dont know much about blacks. I think serbs are more accepting of blacks then even british. There was a study done on that. Ask in the Forum where it is but I read it. Also a mullato would be a "afro-serb" or "black serb" but still "a serb". A gypsy wouldnt, and people are picky about gypsy ancestry. If they know gypsy ancestry, they dont like you.

I think in Dutch it really depends. In my observation, half Dutch-half other European are usually considered Dutch, the same goes for Indo-Dutch and half-Dutch-half Asian (we're used to it because of this 350 years in the Indies stuff) but blacks, anything Islamic.. is not particularly considered part of the group and particularly not in the countryside. Even more so if the father isn't Dutch. Needless to say: verdicts can be harsher though when the mother is Dutch but the father isn't.

What both these Greeks and African Americans have in common is there is an exterior motive or incentive which drives them to accept people who are only 1/2 or 1/4 their ethnicity. Once these exterior incentives are done with ,like how the American one drop rule is fading away, the host group begins to exclude "half-breeds".

That's actually a very good question as figures range wildly. The oldest generation in 2003 numbered around 458.000. So that figure will have been dramatically reduced since. It is now estimated, according to a NIOD estimation of 2010, that 1 to 2 million Dutch have at least some Indo-Dutch (and that doesn't always mean Indies but also totok - which were ethnic Dutch who had been born and raised in the Indies and who had absorbed Indies culture as the group can roughly be divided into Indo-Europeans and the totoks) blood in one way or the other. They are basically no longer a category but, perhaps, more a cultural element than anything else (and even that is dying out fast as the younger generations drop that as well): they have been completely absorbed and their blood dispersed into Dutch society.
So, yes, Eurasians are often confused for Indo's and, very likely, will continue to be confused with them.
